Many people believe that good traders are winners, but in fact, true winners often understand one thing better: proactively admitting small losses.

When a position shows risk signals, they will decisively cut their losses and not hope for a miraculous rebound. This may sound counterintuitive, but the logic behind it is solid—timely stop-loss for small losses, which safeguards the account from being wiped out by a huge downturn.

Conversely, the real market picture is "seven losses, two break-even, one profit." Where do most retail traders fail? They fail at not cutting losses. The originally floating profits turn into floating losses through stubbornness, and in the end, they watch the market rebound while having already exited. This approach not only damages the principal but also causes missed opportunities later on.

So what do skilled losing traders do? They build a complete risk control framework—clearly define the acceptable loss range, and immediately adjust when the market moves against them, prioritizing survival. As the art of war states, first ensure you are invincible, then seek victory. Because as long as you are alive, there is still a chance to turn things around.
